A study of almost 2 million U.S. residents across 199 cities shows that rising housing costs may drive increases in “openness” of character among residents of a city — all in well under a decade.
Researchers from the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich deciphered the cellular mechanisms through which tendons can adapt to mechanical stresses. People who carry a certain variant of a gene that is key to this mechanism show improved jumping performance.
Liquid water previously detected under Mars’ ice-covered south pole is probably just a dusty mirage, according to a new study of the red planet led by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin.
Researchers have predicted that expanding the Aransas Pass — the marine pass between Mustang Island and Saint Joseph Island, offshore from the town of Aransas Pass, Texas — would increase the native red drum fish population.
Software development teams given the freedom to tackle their projects in whatever ways they choose are more productive and have more satisfied customers than teams that follow a central corporate standard, according to new research from The University of Texas at Austin.
Contrary to expectation, experiments show that edges are not needed to realize an unusual quantum effect
One species of bacteria that lives in the gut can contribute to weight gain in mice by overproducing trans fatty acids
A carefully designed behavioral task reveals the interplay between the visual system and brain cells that guide decision making in mice

Fungicides widely used to prevent apples from spoiling may be fueling the superbug crisis by acting as reservoir for drug-resistant strains of a deadly pathogen, warn researchers from McMaster University and the University of Delhi.
Regular cycling can greatly improve mobility in patients with myotonic dystrophy (MD), a genetic disease that causes muscle degeneration, a study led by McMaster researchers finds.
New research from McMaster and McGill universities provides insight into the factors that may lead to vaccine hesitancy among older adults, who are known to be at increased risk of severe symptoms from COVID-19.
A McMaster researcher is part of a team that has developed a more efficient way to screen for vitamin D deficiency that could become a tool in the fight against COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses.
Using artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced microscope technology, researchers at McMaster have discovered a previously unknown neurodegenerative illness.
Offspring whose fathers are metabolically compromised may be at increased risk of developing the same condition themselves, McMaster researchers have found.
Residents of Ontario retirement homes have higher rates of hospital-based care compared to people in long-term care (LTC) facilities, McMaster researchers have found.
Prone positioning, or lying face down, does not significantly reduce the risk of intubation in hospitalized patients experiencing acute hypoxemic respiratory failure from COVID-19, according to Hamilton-based researchers.
Researchers at McMaster University have developed a new form of rapid test to detect infections in farm animals, responding to the rising threat of dangerous outbreaks.
